Just got back from Omkara,, India's take on Othello, set among the political underworld of Uttar Pradesh and WOW. This has knocked off Fanaa from my favorite movie of the year spot. Actually, it's pretty much in the running for my favorite Bollywood movie ever.
Let me repeat that, wow. This was one of the very rare movies where I really didn't have anything I had a problem with or wanted to correct. It was tragic, brutal, and completely irresistible. Very very tight screenplay. And it was perfectly cast. In fact, the movie works in a large part because the cast is so pitch perfect.
( Spoilery thoughts on the movie. But come on, everyone knows the plot of Othello )
